There are so many reasons to love Fall but for us Thanksgiving dinner definitely tops the list. How can you not love a holiday whose focal point is unabashedly about FOOD? It's a celebration of the bounty of the beautiful harvest, and more than any other holiday, a reminder to be grateful for the food that is available to us. So this Thanksgiving let's give thanks to local food and the farmers who grow it by cooking up a feast in their honour. Here are a few recipes using seasonal ingredients to get you started!

Everyone loves a good roasted potato, and this recipe does not disappoint. Boiling them ahead saves time the next day. Use the bottom of a skillet to gently flatten several potatoes at a time. These potatoes are just as delicious whole, so if you’re looking for something more traditional, omit the flattening step.

This is an easy, rustic recipe that makes a great vegetarian meal or a pretty side dish. It’s so simple: Yellow squash layered in a jumble with sliced red potato and goat cheese. No cream needed at all.
